Cops, Bombs & Firemen - A Blue Bloods story

7: Under Attack

"Jamie are you sure I look okay?" Grace asked for what seemed like the millionth time the following Sunday. Today was the day that she was going to meet Jamie's family and to say that she was nervous was an understatement.

"For the last time, yes! You look beautiful. Why are you so nervous?" he asked as he rubbed her arms.

Grace was wearing a pair of black jeans, with a blue sweater and boots. She looked simple and pretty.

"I just want them to like me, I mean you know that cops and firefighters don't get along." she replied.

"I'm not denying that Princess, but you are not the firefighter, your family is. And honestly, I don't care if they like or accept us. I love you and if they don't accept that you are in my life then I am good with having Sundays free for the foreseeable future." he said.

"Jamie, we both know how much your family means to you. Are you sure you could just walk away from that...for me?

"If they cared or loved me, they would accept how happy I am with you." Grace nodded and looked down. "Get your stuff, we need to go." Grace gathered up her purse and cell phone and walked out with Jamie.

One they were there, Jamie started to walk in.

"Dad-" Jamie was cut off by Grace.

"Wait! Give me a second. I need to collect my thoughts."

He was pulled back out by Grace.

"Hun, you will be fine. I promise. Hold your own." He warned her. She raised a eyebrow but he pulled her back inside. "Dad! We're here!"

He lead her to the dining room where everyone was sitting. "Guys, this is Grace. Grace, that's my Dad Frank, Danny my brother, Sean and Jack my nephews, Danny's sons. Grandpa Henry, Nicki, Erin's daughter and Erin."

He introduced them to the family.

"Hello. I'm Grace. Nice to meet you all."

So Grace, what do you do?" Danny asked after they said grace and everyone began to eat.

"Danny, maybe we should wait with the questions." Erin said as she looked at Grace.

"Yeah, how's the arson investigation going Dad?" Sean asked as he smiled at Grace.

"It's okay, the investigator is a pain in the ass though, said that he wants to be kept in the loop. He wants to go to the DA too." Danny answered.

"What did you say his name was again?" Henry asked.

"Andrew De Marco. He is a real ass.." Danny started.

'So Grace, what do you do for work?" Erin asked before her brother could get too carried away.

"I work for the DA's office actually" she replied with a small smile.

"Really? Where?" Erin asked. "I work there too."

Before she could answer Danny cut her off. "Why are we skipping over my answer?"

"Because we don't want to hear your answer Danny." Erin shot back.

Grace turned to Jamie and he was smirking. She didn't like the fact that Danny was talking bad about her brother. Jamie grabbed her hand and rolled his eyes at his siblings bickering.

"Well I'm just saying that I am a detective. I know a little more about being a detective than a arson investigator."

"Well, he knows a little more about fire and what is wrong and right about it." Grace mumbled.
